As reported in the Thurrock Gazette, Friday 14 March 2008, “Borough Tories’ blast for DC green belt plans. Anger over DC snub”.

“Leading Thurrock politicians have declared war with the borough’s government-instigated Development Corporation over building on green belt land……

Now senior Tories have demonstrated their dissatisfaction and anger by symbolically ripping up its masterplan fo East Thurrock“.

Ian Harrison, Corringham and Fobbing ward councillor

Sue MacPherson, The Homesteads ward councillor

Pauline Tolson, The Homesteads ward councillor

Eddie Hardiman, Stanford-le-Hope West ward councillor

Terry Hipsey, Thurrock Council leader and Stanford-le-Hope (West) ward councillor

Oh, to be in England

Now that April’s there,

And whoever wakes in England

Sees, some morning, unaware,

That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf

Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,

While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough……

Are gone!

What’s that housing estate doing there?
